Branded Bromley: A Disappointing Surf 'n' Turf Well, folks, it seems even the most trusted of restaurants can slip up. Last night, my partner and I ventured back to Branded Bromley, a place we've had many fond memories at. Unfortunately, our recent experience was a major let-down. We started off on a high note, enjoying a beer while we perused the menu. The starters were delicious, but things took a turn for the worse when our main courses arrived. My partner's halibut was fine, but my surf 'n' turf was a total disaster. I kid you not, the steak was no bigger than an Oreo biscuit! And the prawns? Well, let's just say they were more like jelly beans than anything else. When I questioned the waiter, the manager came over and insisted that was the standard size. I've been coming here for a couple years, and I know that's not right. After a bit of back and forth, they offered to replace the steak, but by that point, I was so put off that I declined. It was a real bummer, especially considering our past positive experiences. We ended up paying £162 bill for what was essentially a disappointing meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, but the food just didn't cut it. I'm not sure if I'll be returning anytime soon. Lesson learned: Even the best restaurants can have off nights.

Lovely option for date night, good service, perfect steaks, little bit pricey but I think it was worth it. Will definitely go back again, he had a tbone and I had fillet, couple of drinks. Staff were accommodating and cheerful the moment we got in.

Food and service really good. Music a bit loud when we arrived. We asked the manager to turn it down a bit which he did. Smashing night out !!

Our family (five adults and a baby) had an excellent experience at Branded. We arrived late for our booking but the front of house guy smiled and welcomed us anyway, and provided first-class service with charm and personality. He made jokes with the elder relatives and cooed over the baby. The staff were just the right amount of attentive, and were patient while we decided what to eat. I requested a cocktail that wasn't on the menu (a classic daquiri) but it arrived to my satisfaction. Most of our party had roast dinners, which we enjoyed. The portion was just right. Another of our party had seabass. Some of our party shared macaroni cheese as a starter, which was so good that another of our party decided to add one to his order. Our desserts let the side down slightly (there were only three profiteroles in the portion, which we felt was a bit small; and my crumble was presented sloppily on a plate rather than in a bowl. There was too much oat crumble to fruit for my liking too, but that is the only critical note I can offer in what was otherwise a faultless experience.) I wouldn't hesitate to dine here again.

The Earlybird menu suited our timings perfectly but maybe restricted the variation in the menu. The staff were attentive and efficient. The food was well cooked and presented. The surroundings are pleasant and comfortable. £25 per head for 2 courses including soft drinks and service seemed reasonable.

Fantastic night, we booked a table for 17 persons, I was allowed to go early to arrange some decorations on the tables and to bring a cake ready for the party. A lovely waitress assisted me and advised me on the arrangements, she was a great help. We had 17 meals, starters and main courses, and the orders were varied, ranging from Steaks to Lobsters, NOT one complained or had any negative comments about the food, considering there were 17 of us to cook for. Every dish was either good or excellent, mostly excellent, I had Chateaubriand steak, without doubt, it was the best cut that I have ever had, served exactly to my liking and I would say it was "second to none". I certainly do not doubt the source of the meat supplier, as the meat was of the very best quality. Everyone had as many drinks as they liked, from cocktails to beer, (Wine was supplied as a present by a good friend) The cost of the meal and drinks minus wine was £1480, working out at £87 per person having Starters, main course and cocktails, beer, spirits. A great night, with excellent food, and the best service and I would say value for money considering the quality of food and service. I wish to thank "Branded" for making our night so good.

We had been to Branded in Beckenham but since we live in Bromley we thought we should try this one. Decor is beautiful. The place oozes class and quality. Lots of tables for two as well as larger ones. Service was very good and they were very attentive. We had olives and crab to start with followed by the filet steak. All hot and cooked to perfection. The sweet potato fries were the best I’ve had and they didn’t scrimp on them either. We would totally recommend and we will be back!

Visited here with my partner for midweek dinner and everything was just right. The beetroot and goats cheese salad is one of the best I’ve ever had. Rib eye steak was cooked to perfection, very generous sized cut of meat therefore good value and the homemade bearnaise sauce was delicious with it. My creme brûlée was properly brûléed. Service was friendly and every member of staff made us feel welcome. Branded is not cheap eats but if you want to treat yourself to a sumptuous meal in opulent surroundings with lovely staff this ticks all boxes.

They’re open on a Monday which was a plus for us! Beautiful restaurant with modern decor. The Peterhead haddock, mushy peas, chips and burger were all delicious and great quality. Set menu is decent value. Service was excellent and prices about average. Great location in the centre of Bromley and definitely recommend for a meal in this area.

Something Bromley has long awaited. The food is great, the menu has a variety of dishes, the cost reflects and actually on the set menu is a bargain. I find it hard to eat else where since the opening. The roasts are great (no washing up) the steaks are perfect and the service makes you feel special. Highly recommended!

The steak was excellent the waitress was sensational but the gentleman there I’m guessing the manager tells me the empty table I wish to sit is strictly for four people when there are two other couples of 2 sat in them odd fella, Recommend none the less.

Took my daughter for her birthday lunch and she picked the restaurant she wanted to go to. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. The food was good, I had fish and chips and the best mushy peas I have ever tasted. My daughter had a burger and chips. We finished off the main course with dessert, both on the lunch set menu. Good work.

Absolutely loved our first time visiting this fabulous restaurant.. from the decor to the staff & food.. On our arrival we was greeted and made very welcome. All the staff were friendly & helpful. Lots of choice on the menu and the porn star martinis are great. Cannot wait to return and I think we have found our new go to place.

Would not recommend this restaurant for the following reason. 1. Over priced for what the food is and expensive drink menu. 2. Very rude, arrogant, bad attitude of the branch manager. 3. Asked for surf and turf steak came out very over cooked. To the point that it was dry, no taste and not what I expected form this chain. Asked for this to be redone second dish came out. The steak this time was served rare when I asked for medium to well. Manager asked me to cut the stack in half and lifted the to stake its cooked to perfection was the reply. The rest of the dish looked as though they had just reheated the same dish. Completely unacceptable and when I complained. The managed refused to refund, did not offer an apology and was abruptly rude. 4. order soft shell crab and the dish had bits of shell in the dish.

Glad I’m the first customer who write an reviews here not the last. This was the most incredible “Steak” restaurant @High st. Good value meal with the set menu 3 course for under £20. Great portions! The manager who made us so welcome, can’t recommend enough. We had a fabulous night and we were looked after so well by all the staffs especially the manager “Koni” & the owner “Riess” The quality of the starter, the main and the dessert was amazing. Fantastic Atmosphere. Very comfortable feels like home. We highly recommend this steak restaurant “Branded” in Bromley

Great menu, lovely service. The only reason I won't give it 5/5 is the expensive wine menu. I had the 2 course set menu for £17.95 which had 5/6 options for each course and it was good value for the quality of the food. I will return for the a la carte menu shortly.

Real authentic seafood, we absolutely demolished our garlic oysters probably the best I have eaten. The monk fish was to die for and live the old school decor really adds to the atmosphere. Friendly staff and compliments to the chefs. Thank you. We will be back.
